White light @ night so they'll eat????

D'Angelo N Va. :

I have ONLY used the white lights..EVER. They don't pick at one another, they sleep, eat, do all the things theywould normally do in the sunshine. i always wondered why ppl. say ONLY use a red light. Fiddle Dee Dee.

I agree with you that if you don't have a pecking issue, you don't need a red bulb. My issue with them being under a white light at night was because they were partying all night long, not that they were pecking.

ETA: Come to think of it, mine were probably too busy trying to find new ways to wake me up to peck at each other.

I got mine from eBay for $9.00 with shipping. If you use it from the beginning, they get used to the night/day cycle and theres no transition when you move them out to the coop.

Plus with the blacklight you can put some Trippy posters in there, too!
